The World Health Organization (WHO) set up an organization to try to develop an international pandemic prevention protocol. From its website:QuoteIn December 2021, at its second-ever special session, the World Health Assembly established an intergovernmental negotiating body (INB) to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement, or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. The INB’s work is based on the principles of inclusiveness, transparency, efficiency, Member State leadership, and consensus....The Republican Governors Association is swinging hard against this violation of national sovereignty and federalism. In May, 24 GOP governors signed a letter expressing their disagreement with the notion of a pandemic treaty.The letter reads in part:QuoteIf adopted, these agreements would seek to elevate the WHO from an advisory body to a global authority in public health. Under the proposed amendments and treaty, the WHO’s Director-General would supposedly gain unilateral power to declare a "public health emergency of international concern" (PHEIC) in member nations, extending beyond pandemics to include a range of perceived emergencies.“As governors, we affirm that public health policy is a matter reserved for the states, not the federal government, and certainly not international bodies like the WHO,” the governors conclude in the letter. “We are committed to resisting any attempts to transfer authority to the WHO over public policy affecting our citizens or any efforts by the WHO to assert such authority over them.”

If it wasn't passed by the US Senate, it ain't a treaty. It's a worthless piece of paper.
